Samhain: Kitchen Witch Edition and How to Avoid Burnout this Season
Samhain energy is here. The veil is thin and so is our patience (at least for some of us). We start with a real check-in: if you’re exhausted, stretched too thin, or secretly dreading plans you normally love, you’re not broken. You’re burned out, and that deserves honesty and grace.
We pull two powerful cards to frame the week. First, the Kratt, a warning about overwork and the way productivity can turn into a self-made trap. From there we talk about why burnout has felt on the periphery since COVID and how nervous system stress can linger in the background of everyday life.
Then we turn to The Star from the tarot, the reminder that relief is possible, luck can return, and your magic works better when you stop forcing it.
You’ll also hear my take on Scorpio season, the Taurus full moon, and a simple manifestation prompt that cuts through overthinking: what would you wish for if it could be granted?
To bring it all down to earth, we kitchen witchcraft and seasonal rituals you can actually do while tired: simmer pots, soups and stews, pumpkin spice as a spell, tea herbs, offerings like candy on your altar, and the deep healing that can come from making an ancestral recipe. I also share a “bless the bones” practice you can do alone or with kids, plus journal prompts to help you name what you’re done carrying from my favorite book on kitchen witchcraft: Witch in the Kitchen: Magical Cooking for All Seasons by Cait Johnson
Subscribe so you don’t miss the full moon and Samhain flow, share this with a friend who needs a softer season, and leave a review if the cards and rituals help you feel more like yourself.
What’s one thing you’re ready to say no to this week?
We begin the week in the energy of the Libra new moon, and Venus retrograde in Scorpio stirring up relationship truths and personal imbalance.
I share one of my favorite tools for self-check-ins that I learned from Granddaughter Crow: the four bodies. We look at the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers of your life and how they tangle together, especially when stress gets stored in the body. If you’ve ever wondered why a pain, ache, or “stuck” feeling won’t move, this framing helps you ask better questions and make kinder choices.
Tarot adds some clarity to the week with the Eight of Ghosts, a clear invitation to walk away from what drains your cup, and an oracle pull on Agathos Daimon that challenges us to stop only reading about spirituality and start practicing it.
Then we take another dip into Halloween history with jack-o-lantern folklore. I read an 1851 poem, “The Romance of Jack-O’Lantern,” unpack the Stingy Jack legend, and track how turnip lanterns in Ireland became pumpkin carvings in the United States. We close with modern witchcraft ideas you can try right away, from pumpkin prosperity bowls and abundance magic to inner child healing and shadow work that looks “normal” on the outside but carries real intention.

The season of the witch is upon us! And we begin with a little history lesson on Samhain.
I pull card from The Halloween Tarot and The Oracle of the Forgotten Witches, and the results are blunt in the best way. The Ten of Bats lands like Ophelia in Hamlet, while the Kikimora shows how chaos creeps in through clutter, frayed nerves, and misaligned choices. With Venus retrograde in Scorpio and Mercury retrograde approaching also in Scorpio, I talk about why this is prime time for shadow work, relationship review, and restoring order without chasing perfection.
We can use the Libra new moon on 10/10 to frame a simple harmony ritual: clean your space, cleanse your energy, and invite peace back into your routines. All you need is a little time and a Temperance card.
From there, we go deep on Samhain history and Halloween origins. I share what Samhain means, why there’s no evidence of a Celtic god named Samhain, and how ideas like the need fire, cyclical time, and the thin veil shape modern witchcraft. We also zoom out to connected traditions like Pomona, All Souls, Day of the Dead, Fèt Gede, and Diwali, all circling ancestor connection and the turning of the year. If you’ve been craving a calmer Samhain reset, this one’s for you.

We’re standing on a threshold, and Libra season brings the scales: balance, beauty, and the kind of harmony that has to be built in real life.
I pull cards that get straight to the root chakra stuff: money, safety, home, and belonging. The Four of Pentacles calls out the tight grip of scarcity mindset and asks us to redefine prosperity beyond cash. The “We Are Family” message shifts the focus to chosen family, lineage, and the ancestors who may be closer than you think right now. If you’ve been feeling tender about the holidays, budgeting, or complicated family dynamics, this is a compassionate reframe. I used the Happy Halloween Tarot and the Morbid Mirror Oracle both by Soni Graves.
We also go to the crossroads, literally. A mysterious pile of acorns from woodpeckers turns into a living signpost that pulls in Hecate, nature symbolism, and the reminder that spirit communication can be loud when we’ve been too busy to notice the subtle stuff. From there, we talk about witchy FOMO, imposter syndrome, accessibility in witchcraft, neurodivergence, and why social media performance is not the measure of a real practice. Simple daily witchcraft counts: breath, tea, rest, a walk, a tarot deck in your hands, a playlist on a low-energy day.

Balance doesn’t magically arrive when life calms down. We have to build it, revisit it, and sometimes schedule it in and the equinox is one of the best seasonal moments to do that work with clarity. I’m sharing what I look at when I feel off center, how I tell the difference between balance and harmony, and why the smallest neglected area of life is often the one that changes everything once you feed it again.
We start with a card using the Happy Halloween Tarot, pulling the Nine of Pentacles as a sweet reminder to celebrate your wins, define success on your own terms, and enjoy what you’ve already created. I also pull a card from the Morbid Mirror Oracle. From there, we move into equinox journaling prompts and a simple “life audit” across career, relationships, home life, health, and spirit. If you’re overwhelmed or working nonstop, I offer realistic ways to create small pockets of space, plus ritual ideas like nature observation, crystal grids, and seasonal mindfulness.
Then we step into Libra season with Venus-led themes of beauty, pleasure, and restoring flow, before closing with the Full Moon in Aries. Aries brings raw power and fresh-start energy, making it a great time to reflect back to Aries season, take stock of what you planted, and choose a gratitude or release ritual that matches your season whether you’re honoring Mabon or Ostara.

This week I chat Practical Magic, the books and the new movie. No Spoilers! But we begin by looking at Virgo season. Our house doesn’t have to be perfect to feel like a sanctuary. This week we lean hard into Virgo season energy: cleaning, clearing, organizing, and auditing what’s actually working in our lives. I share the real-life, not-aesthetic version of “ritualizing your life” from deep cleaning to freezer diving, and why caring for the mundane can be one of the most powerful forms of everyday witchcraft and self care.
Our tarot pull is The Star, a bright signal of healing, resilience, and guidance. I also pull a message from the Morbid Mirror Oracle, “We are one, we do not have nature, we are nature,” and talk about what that means for grounding, seasonal living, and the way our homes and bodies hold energy. Along the way, I share simple home energy cleansing tips you can do with grocery store items.
Then we shift into witchy culture of Practical Magic, from the books to why the movie matters as a women-led story that wasn’t treated kindly when it first came out. I talk about showing up for the stories that reflect us, and choosing not to tear women down for aging or appearance. If you’re craving a calm reset with a little magic, this one’s for you.

We start with the energy of the week with the new moon in Virgo. Our tarot of the week is the High Priestess. She points us toward quiet, stillness, and listening to our inner guide. I also pulled an oracle card from Morbid Mirror: Preparation for the Afterlife. Together these cards invite us to go within. Virgo season energy invites us into cleansing your home, decluttering, organizing your space, and resetting your routines. I share simple cleansing ideas you can actually do, from energetic clearing to getting your tools and environment aligned with your goals.
Then we get into the paranormal: what we mean by “ghosts” and “spirits,” why different cultures draw different lines, and the big difference between an imprint haunting that replays like a loop and an interactive spirit you might be able to communicate with. We also cover spiritual protection before and after haunted places, including prayers for protection, cord cutting, and cleansing options like herbs, sacred smoke, selenite, egg cleansing, and even holy water.
I also what sensing the paranormal feels like in the body: cold or heat shifts, sudden emotion, racing heart, dizziness, words that pop into your mind, and other body cues that can signal activity. If you’re curious about tools, I talk tarot, pendulums, scrying, dowsing rods, and more, plus a personal story of an early ghost sighting that sent us straight to research for confirmation. If this conversation sparks something for you, subscribe, share it with a friend who loves ghost stories, and leave a review. What’s the most convincing paranormal moment you’ve ever had?
Let's take a collective honest end-of-August exhale with two cards that both point to the same truth, you are making progress even when your eyes cannot confirm it yet. I pull the Nine of Wands for boundaries and stamina, then an oracle card on synchronicities and serendipity that asks us to measure growth emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, not just by visible outcomes. If you’ve felt worn down, behind, or restless lately, this is a gentle reset with real journal prompts you can use right away.
We also look ahead to early September astrology, including the “sticky, weird” vibe around September 1 (Mars square Saturn) and why a void-of-course Moon can make a day feel slightly off. From there, I share what’s coming up in Our Coven: our theme is Thrive, plus a private live Q&A with beloved witchy author Deborah Blake. I also shout out my upcoming Movie Coven appearance to talk Twilight, and what we’re doing on Belief Being and Beyond with community questions.
Then we go practical and seasonal. If it’s hot, dry, and you’re craving a shift, we talk late-summer witchy prep and kitchen magic: harvesting, preserving, fire cider, four thieves vinegar, elderberry syrup, herbal tea upgrades, and smoke bundles for home cleansing. I close with some very eclipse thoughts about social media algorithms, why posting can feel like throwing your best energy away, and how niche feeds can quietly shrink our shared reality.
If you enjoy tarot, oracle cards, seasonal living, and thoughtful conversations about modern witchcraft and community, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more witches can find me. What sign or synchronicity have you noticed lately?
August has a way of turning the volume up: the sun feels louder, your calendar fills faster, and you can almost sense the season tipping toward change. We lean into that feeling with a Cozy Coven Chat that blends practical modern witchcraft with seasonal living, so you can ride the late-summer wave without getting knocked over by it.
We start with real-life reflections on travel, home, and what it means when a place finally feels like it fits. From there, we talk about community magic in Our Coven, including a symbolism theme that turns into a burst of creative divination. August’s coven focus shifts to potions.
The tarot and oracle pulls set the tone for the month: focused fire, fast movement, and the quiet hope of the Star. We connect that to the Leo New Moon for confidence and visibility, the transition into Virgo season for organization and decluttering, and a dreamy Pisces Full Moon that begs for spellwork. I also share a grounded take on Lammas or Lughnasadh as first harvest season, with a simple question you can use anywhere: what is being harvested where you live right now?
Along the way we get honest about social media, attention, “popcorn brain,” and why unplugging is not a moral flex but a real spiritual practice. There’s also a haunted-history detour to the Whaley House. Plus practical apothecary prep like four thieves vinegar and elderberry syrup for back-to-school season. If any of this hits home, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more witches can find a slower, steadier kind of magic.

Mercury retrograde in Cancer can feel like someone turned the volume up on your inner world, and suddenly you are tender, tired, and replaying conversations you thought you were done with. I’m Jenny C. Bell, and I’m walking through a grounded July astrology forecast that treats the retrograde as a tool: slow down, double-check the details, and give your feelings room to speak without judging them. If you’ve been wondering why you want to hermit while everyone else looks “summer social,” there’s a real rhythm to it.
We move through the month’s lunar anchors, including the New Moon in Cancer (July 14) for setting fresh intentions around home, care, and emotional nourishment, plus the Full Moon in Aquarius (July 29) for celebration, community, and hope for the future once Mercury is moving forward again. I share simple ritual ideas like spending time near water, especially at night, and I call out supportive touchstones like moonstone and labradorite. I also pull oracle cards from the Arcana Folia deck, with themes like changing your mindset, zooming in on what you’re missing, not letting fear drive, and trusting a gentle plot twist that leads to gradual success.
I also talk coven life, symbols as our monthly theme, why audiobook listeners are absolutely readers, and how to protect your mental health by being mindful with news and social media. If July feels heavy, you’re not alone, and you’re not behind. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs tenderness, and leave a review with your ideal July plot twist.
We are looking at the month of June in this chat. We begin with a blue full moon in Sagittarius is pure forward-motion energy: what goal still matters, what needs a spark, and where can you add fire without burning yourself out. From there we move into the June new moon in Gemini and talk practical magic you can use right now like clearer communication, starting a writing project, drafting the tough email, and preparing for a conversation you’ve been avoiding.
Then the tone turns inward with a guided Akashic Records reading for June that keeps repeating one message: slow down, get quiet, and trust what’s happening here and now. We talk about nervous system fatigue from the news cycle, the pressure of the collective, and how authenticity gets blurry when so much of life is filtered through screens, algorithms, and now AI. If you’ve been wondering about AI in witchcraft, AI tarot, or “spiritual” AI mentoring, you’ll hear why we think every witch needs their own rules, values, and boundaries.
We also pull June cards that point to momentum, long-term decisions, and self-trust, and we share updates on Divergent Witchcraft plus the journaling concept of a Book of Light. Finally, we step up on the soapbox to call out WitchTok gatekeeping, especially the toxic claim that you can’t be a “real witch” if you’re poor or not thin, and we reframe abundance as love, health, community, and joy, not just money.
If this conversation helps you reset your path, share it with a friend, subscribe so you don’t miss the weekly return in September, and leave a review so more witches can find the show.
The Sagittarius full moon has a way of telling the truth with a spark. We’re a week out from the May 31 full moon, and I’m using this cozy Coven’Chat to talk about what “bring the fire” can look like in real life: candle spell energy, transmutation, passion, and the kind of embodied movement that gets you back into your body. I also circle back to Beltane, because a ritual isn’t just a moment, it’s an arc, and sometimes the most powerful magic is simply returning to what you set in motion and closing the loop with care.
Then I share a few life updates, including co-hosting Belief Being And Beyond with Granddaughter Crow, where we keep coming back to belief, joy, and what lies beyond. From there we pull the card 701 from Mystic Michaela’s Angel Numbers deck, “Angelic Company”, and sit with the message that you are being protected. I offer a question I return to when my nervous system is braced: if I knew I was fully protected and everything would go well, what would I do differently? I also talk about asking for signs, believing them when they arrive, and why my ladybug story still feels like a living conversation with support.
The heart of the episode is the final chapter of my book Divergent Witchcraft: overcoming overwhelm. We talk frankly about how overwhelm can come from sound, light, information, social media, and a world that never slows down, and how many of us freeze rather than fight or flee. I share practical tools that reduce overwhelm without shame: checking sources so bad witchcraft info doesn’t spiral you, meditation and journaling as nervous system support, plus a spell to release overwhelm when you’re stuck in that couch marshmallow mode.

Fear has a way of sneaking in through the smallest cracks, then suddenly it is everywhere: the news, the economy, your kids’ questions about the future, and the quiet moments when you realize you cannot plan your way out of uncertainty. We start with a Cozy Coven Chat vibe and a Gemini season shift, then pull angel number 777 from the Angel Numbers deck as a direct message: face fear, trust the divine, and release the need to control what happens next. I also share a simple meditation posture tip using your hands to signal receiving or grounding, because spiritual work is not just a belief system, it is also a body practice.
From there, we get real about what it means to come of age during turbulent times and why collective fear feels so intense right now. I talk through the kind of heart-to-heart conversations many parents are having and why shadow work keeps returning until we choose to meet it. Trust, to me, is one of the closest feelings to “holy” we can access, but it is not easy or automatic. It is a practice, and it often begins by admitting what you are afraid of without letting that fear run your life.
Then we shift into practical witchcraft: spellcrafting for beginners, neurodivergent witches, and anyone who has ever wondered, “Am I allowed to do this?” I break down a clear structure for creating your own spells with a pre-spell ritual, a strong spell format, and an after-spell ritual that includes the mundane steps that make magic stick. We also tackle common questions like whether you can be a witch without doing spells and what to do with spell remains in a sustainable, responsible way. If you want more confidence with spellwork, more clarity on correspondences, protection, cleansing, and grounding, and a kinder path to building your own practice, press play. Subscribe, share with a witchy friend, and leave a review with the biggest fear you are ready to face.
The fastest way to change your life is to stop waiting for the “perfect” start and take one grounded step you can repeat. This week we’re working with the New Moon in Taurus and the steady, practical energy it offers: begin what you want to finish. That can look mystical and simple at the same time, like lighting a candle for your goal and also doing the tangible thing that moves it forward, naming the business, buying the domain, drafting the first line, opening the savings account, or starting the passport process.
We also pull an angel numbers message, 144 “connect,” and talk about meditation as an act of listening. Instead of pushing for signs, we make space for guidance by tuning in through the crown chakra and letting wisdom meet us in the quiet. If your manifestations have been floating around since spring but still don’t feel embodied, Taurus season is an invitation to ground them into routines, choices, and real commitments.
From there, we return to Divergent Witchcraft and the “Building Your Craft” idea: once you have a foundation, your path opens up into a choose-your-own-adventure. We reflect on allies like plants, crystals, animals, angels, tarot, and movement practices, plus how your environment and curiosity can shift what feels possible. I also share how magic becomes richer when it’s woven into everyday life, from kitchen witchcraft to sewing, crochet, and even blending Qi Gong with spellwork.
If you’re craving a practice that feels steady, personal, and alive, come listen, then share what you’re beginning and what path is calling you next. Subscribe, leave a review, and send this to a friend who needs a little grounded momentum.
Angel Number 955 hits like a spotlight: reconfigure your loving connections. We start with a card pull that’s oddly specific, then follow it into the real work of relationship magic, not just romance, but self-trust, friendship maintenance, family check-ins, and the way Beltane season asks us to nurture what we want to grow. I also share a simple, surprisingly powerful practice you can do anywhere: a self-hug as grounding, especially if you get overwhelmed, feel untethered, or live with neurodivergence.
I share about a first-time milestone I didn’t expect to be so emotional: traveling alone and staying in a hotel solo for the first time at almost 44, all to attend Spirit Northwest in Portland. I talk honestly about insomnia, ADHD-style sleep patterns, city disorientation, and the nerves of walking into a big pagan and witchy conference where you mostly know people from online spaces. Framed like a hero’s journey, the trip becomes a quest for belonging and validation I didn’t realize I needed.
I take you through the best moments: opening rituals, a Hathor-themed rebirth experience, teaching my class on crafting your own spells and rituals (and the relief of seeing people actually show up), plus standout sessions on elemental magic, psychic sleuthing, qi gong for grounding, hummingbird magic blended with culture and science, and Slavic fortune-telling that connects surprising threads across traditions. If you’re into witchcraft, pagan community, spell crafting, correspondences, ritual design, and real-world magical friendships, this one’s for you.

Happy Birthday to me! And a Merry Unbirthday to you! Your birthday is not “just another day” to get through. We treat it as a solar return, a rare reset point where your personal astrology loops back to the beginning, making it prime time for intention setting, spellwork, and a little fearless self-celebration. If you’ve ever let your birthday slide by without honoring yourself, we offer a simple fix: save the birthday candle and turn it into a ritual tool when you have time, so the magic still lands.
Then we jump into Beltane energy at full volume: pleasure, flowers, creativity, and the kind of play that actually restores you. With a Scorpio full moon arriving at the same time, the vibe gets extra witchy, intense, and unapologetic. We talk practical Beltane ritual ideas you can do with kids or on your own, why dancing counts as real magic, and how your body can be part of your spiritual practice instead of something you have to manage or deny.
A tarot pull, the Eight of Wands, ties it together with one message: communicate clearly and do it now. We explore what you’re holding back, how direct words can transform a stuck situation, and why being more yourself is worth the nerves. We also go deep on moon magic and lunar cycles, including a more inclusive set of moon phase archetypes: Wild One, Warrior, Nurturer, and Elder, plus how to track moon phases alongside sleep, mood, and daily life.
If you like witchcraft, tarot, moon phases, Beltane rituals, or astrology-inspired self-growth, subscribe, share this with a witchy friend, and leave a review so more people can find us. What’s your favorite song to dance to under the moon?
Taurus season always tells the truth through the body. I share why the days leading up to my birthday can feel like a full-on skin shed, then why the rest of the season brings me back to confidence, glow, and steady energy.
Our tarot pull is the Two of Swords, and it lands like a gentle challenge: are you spending enough time alone with your own thoughts, or are you trapped in your head and spiraling. We talk boundaries in a totally connected world, what it looks like to protect your focus, and how news and social media can hijack your nervous system before your feet even hit the floor. Taurus season gives us a practical fix: feed your senses on purpose so your intuition can breathe.
Then we go deep on spiritual protection and casting a circle, including why so many Ouija board stories end badly when people dabble without protection or a closing practice. I walk through common signs your energy is too open, why empaths and tarot readers need consistent psychic protection, and simple options you can actually use daily: evil eye jewelry, talismans, protective crystals like obsidian or tourmaline, black salt, prayer, and calling on Archangel Michael. The biggest takeaway is simple and powerful: cleanse first, then protect.
If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a witchy friend who needs stronger boundaries, and leave a review so more people can find Cozy Coven Chat. What’s your go-to protection practice right now?
The energy has been heavy for a lot of us, and I can feel the collective need for a clean restart. This week’s Cozy Coven chat leans into the Aries new moon on April 17, a fire-sign reset that nudges us out of winter sluggishness and back into movement. I share a simple new moon candle magic practice to invite fresh momentum, clear obstacles, and light that inner flame again, especially if you have felt like you are treading through sand.
We also pull the Ace of Cups from the Magical Hours Tarot, and it lands perfectly with the lunar theme: emotional beginnings, heart healing, and the brave act of asking yourself how you really feel. I talk about why this card matters for intuition, self-care, and making choices that actually nourish you, not just choices that look good on paper. If you love tarot, astrology, or modern witchcraft, this pairing of Aries fire and Cup energy is a powerful way to set intentions that stick.
Then we zoom out into divergent witchcraft basics that too many people skip: the elements. Earth, air, fire, water, and spirit show up everywhere, from calling quarters and casting a circle to the pentacle, tarot suits, seasonal magic, and spell correspondences. I share different ways practitioners place elements in the compass directions, why you do not need deity devotion to do strong magic, and how elemental work can make protection less draining by connecting you to a larger current of energy.
Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a review with the element you are focusing on right now.
You’re allowed to celebrate what you actually celebrate. We start with a real world, guilt free take on Easter and Ostara, including why so many spring symbols overlap, how folk magic has long lived alongside Catholic and Christian traditions, and how to make any holiday feel witchy without forcing yourself into someone else’s rules. If you want to dye eggs with sigils, bless your sweets, or just honor the season between Ostara and Beltane, do it!
From there, we move into spring as “go time,” Our Coven's theme of Bloom, and the idea that blooming is a rite of passage you can choose on purpose. I share what’s coming up for me, including teaching in person again and heading to Spirit Northwest in Portland, plus all the nerves and excitement that come with traveling alone and stepping into a new chapter. If you’ve got conference tips, I’m listening.
We pull the King of Wands from the Magical Hours Tarot and talk Aries season energy, vision, and how to actually get things done without tipping into burnout or ego. Then we dive into altars as the heart of the home, with practical altar ideas for small spaces, broom closeted witches, and anyone tired of “perfect” social media setups. We close with a quick but important reality check on divine feminine healing, how to spot red flags online, and why balanced inner energy matters for every gender. Check out my substack for an altar look book.
Subscribe for more Cozy Coven chats, share this with a friend who needs permission to do things their own way, and leave a review so more witches can find us. What are you blooming into this spring?
Ever feel like life is asking you to hang upside down long enough to finally see what’s been there all along? We lean into that exact sensation through the lens of the Hanged One embracing the chrysalis as an active, creative pause then ride the Libra full moon’s beam to locate what’s out of balance and how to expand with grace. It’s an invitation to slow the spin, reframe what change means, and choose beauty that actually works in real life.
We walk through how perspective shifts don’t require drama to be deep. Sometimes it’s a new vantage point a conversation, a hilltop, a down dog other times it’s a different question that unlocks a stuck belief. From there, the Libra full moon becomes a practical tool: balance as rhythm, not perfection. We map where to add more of what feeds you and where to release weight you no longer need, so expansion feels aligned rather than chaotic.
To ground all of this, we get specific about journaling as both a clarity practice and a legacy of light. Whether you prefer pen and paper, a notes app, or quick voice memos, the page is where scattered thoughts turn into patterns and next steps.
If you’re ready to see differently, balance with intention, and document your magic in a way that serves you and those who come after, press play. Then subscribe, share this with a friend who loves the moon, and leave a quick review telling us what perspective you’re shifting next.
What if the most powerful spell you cast this week is listening? We lean into spring’s bright stretch of days with the King of Pentacles: steady, generous, and very Taurus-coded then trace how that grounded energy becomes a practical plan for real life. From equinox afterglow to the nuts and bolts of staying in flow, this conversation centers stability you can feel: clear rituals, calm nervous systems, and choices that honor attention as a sacred resource.
I open up about Divergent Witchcraft, my upcoming book with Weiser Books, and why I wrote it for witches who learn and sense differently ADHD, autism, anxiety, trauma, and the many ways our brains differ. We talk credentials, classrooms, and years of adapting tools for students with diverse needs, then map those adaptations onto meditation: shorter sits, guided options, bead counting, walking meditations, and realistic routines you can actually keep. We also go straight at the labels Wicca, new age, astrology, chakras and make peace with the blend most of us already practice. If a tool regulates you, clear your channel, and reduces harm, it earns its place.

Feeling heavy from late winter blues and nonstop collective noise? We open a door from rumination to renewal by pairing a Pisces new moon release with the clarity of the spring equinox and the bold spark of Aries season. The Five of Cups sets our theme: acknowledge what spilled, then choose what still fills your cup. From there, we get practical. I share simple rituals for the equinox.
We widen the frame to real life: spring cleaning linked with energy cleansing, family walks to spot early buds, and kid-friendly nature altars. Then we map a whole self check across mind, heart, body, and spirit therapy touch points, scheduled friend calls, gentle movement to undo winter stiffness, and a refresh for spiritual routines that have gone stale. If your daily card pull feels flat, we offer ways to bring back meaning through timing shifts, new tools, or playful novelty.
With Mercury moving forward and Aries urging motion, we choose one clear step toward a year we design on purpose. Picture your December self work backwards towards what you want.
Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review to help more seekers find their spring start.
When the headlines feel relentless and the heart feels heavy, where do we put our attention, our voice, and our care? We open with the Judgment card as a guiding image truth sounding like a trumpet, endings composting into beginnings and trace how to answer a calling without turning every sacred thing into content. I share why calling and career are not synonyms, how to keep parts of your practice private, and what it looks like to live your purpose through presence, listening, and steady care.
From there, we move into the real-world weight of the news cycle and why “observe, don’t absorb” can be a lifesaver for sensitive, thoughtful people. We talk about building a communal container for hard conversations, creating a resistance circle that allows grief and anger to move, and choosing media intentionally so you’re informed without drowning. Along the way, we name the systems that shape our days—patriarchy, beauty myths, the dismissal of intuition—and offer shadow work that’s honest and humane. You’ll hear practical steps to rebalance reason with inner knowing, question narrow standards of worth, and notice where bias hides in plain sight.
Hope needs practice, so we also lean into spring. Think plant allies, eggs in a nest, daffodils on the table, long walks on warm days, books and films that feed the soul, and music that softens the nervous system. I close with journal prompts from Judgment to help you speak your truth, release harshness toward yourself and others, and name the renewal you want this season. If you’re looking for grounded spirituality, media hygiene, and gentle activism you can live with, this one will feel like a deep breath.

Start here if you’ve ever felt “different” and wondered whether magic could meet you exactly as you are. We introduce Divergent Witchcraft—a welcoming, modern approach that centers healing, self‑acceptance, and practical ritual—so you can build a practice that fits your brain, your life, and your values.
I share why “divergent” speaks to anyone who deviates from the standard and how that lens opens witchcraft to folks with religious trauma, skeptics who prefer a secular path, and seasoned practitioners tired of rigid rules.
Whether you’re witch, witch‑adjacent, or simply curious, this is an open door. Listen to get a feel for the movement, gather a few simple practices to start today, and decide what belongs on your path. If the message resonates, grab the book—Divergent Witchcraft: An Inclusive Approach to Making Magic—and join us. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs permission to be different, and leave a review to help this work reach those who are ready.
The week opens with the Death card on the table and a Virgo lunar eclipse in the sky, a potent pairing that asks us to end what’s heavy and make room for what’s alive. We lean into transformation without theatrics, trading all-or-nothing purges for skilled, compassionate cleansing that keeps the goodness while clearing the grit.
I walk you through a simple seasonal flow you can repeat each month: a gratitude-first journal to anchor the wins, a release list to name the drag, and a threshold sweep that resets your entryway and your energy. From smoke-free selenite passes to safe herbal smoke with mugwort or rosemary, you’ll get practical tools for home and body. I also unpack the difference between cleaning and energetic cleansing so you don’t wipe out house spirit, luck, or momentum. If you work with tarot, you’ll hear clear prompts—where do I need cleansing, where am I ready to release—and tips on pulling multiple cards to read the full story instead of a single headline.
As we move toward the spring equinox, we center the theme of emerge—shedding winter heaviness, naming what blocks joy, and stepping back into the light with boundaries that actually support connection.
If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s ready to let go, and leave a quick review telling us what you’re releasing this month. Your notes help more listeners find the magic.
A quiet warning and a gentle nudge land at the same time: Mercury is set to retrograde in Pisces, and the message on our weekly card reads “closer than you think.” We lean into both truths. I share the simple steps that keep chaos at bay—backups, double checks, slow messages—and then zoom out to the larger rhythm of the season as we move from February’s dreamwork into March’s call to emerge.
Together we map the places where timing slips—deadlines, appointments, and assumptions about how much runway remains—and trade panic for presence. The telescope on the card points to the moon, but it might as well point to your calendar. From there we ground into practices that actually help: self care as protest for those pushed to the margins, small rituals that restore attention, and seasonal choices that bring ease. Gardening becomes both metaphor and plan. I talk about winter sowing, trusting seeds, what thrives in my yard, and how a fallen evergreen turned into an opportunity for manzanita or hawthorn to feed cedar waxwings. We consider a dwarf pear tree, saving an ailing apple, and finding joy in apple butter, peaches, and cut flowers that mark the turning year.
Community Supported Agriculture gets a big spotlight. If you’ve ever wondered whether a CSA is worth it, I walk through the benefits: fresher food, direct support for local farmers, better alignment with your region, and the small-town magic of knowing who grows your dinner. We even peek at seafood and herbal CSAs and why local foods can help your body adapt to place. To close, I offer journal prompts to clarify what’s arriving sooner than you think, what winter energy you still hold, and which shadows want attention before spring. If this resonates, hit play, subscribe for more cozy coven chats, and share your answer: what’s closer than you think today?
Breakthrough energy is humming, and not the loud kind. A new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius is shaking loose stale patterns and shining a bright light on individuality, clarity, and the boundaries that protect a sweeter life. We start with a card pull—Sweetness from Arcana Folia—and follow the thread into how firm, loving limits make space for ease, presence, and genuine joy. Instead of forcing manifestations, we offer an eclipse‑safe approach: listen more than push, journal more than plan, and let what’s ready to leave, leave.
Aquarius brings invention and a nudge to do your own thing, while winter continues to surface shadow material that needs care. We share practical ways to meet that wave: simple journaling prompts that turn fog into language, deeper card spreads to name fears, and quiet rituals that keep your nervous system steady. Then we ride the shift into Pisces season with dreamwork, a focus on intuitive practice, and a reminder that rest is not laziness, it’s fuel. Along the way, we trade playlists for full albums, light a candle, take phone‑free walks, and romanticize the small moments that make ordinary days feel enchanted.
Think of this conversation as a warm room during a blustery forecast: you’ll leave with boundary scripts, reflective questions, and cozy practices to anchor you through eclipse season. Press play, breathe deeper, and tell us—where will you set one kind boundary this week? If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find their way here.
We name the collective unease, then build a gentle plan to hold steady: practice self-care as resistance, clear intuition, and small rituals that restore joy without ignoring the world’s weight.
We start with the week’s oracle pull—a tiny mouse that signals subtle warning and asks us to trust first impressions. From there, we navigate how to protect our attention, set humane boundaries, and stay grounded in kindness. We share what hope looks like on ordinary days: seeds on the altar waiting for rain, snacks and laughter during the game, and a simple Friday the 13th ritual that honors Freya’s many facets and Venus’s call to self-love. Along the way, we explore February’s tricky astrology and why naming one real reason to believe each day strengthens the “hope muscle.”
Community threads run through everything. I invite you to my Substack for poetry and personal essays, extend a warm door to the coven’s dream-focused month, and celebrate live conversation on Witch’s Movie Coven. For those craving hands-on learning, I chat about Spirit Northwest in Portland, where I’ll teach building effective, ethical spells from correspondences to ritual structure. I also talk honestly about influencing, how creators balance integrity and income, and simple tactics for mindful consumption—like the 24-hour cart rule and the magic of Little Free Libraries.
If you’re craving steadiness, symbolism, and sustainable magic, this one is for you. Listen, breathe, and gather a few tools you can use tonight. If it resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a quick review—what small ritual will you try this week?
We welcome Imbolc alongside a full moon in Leo and explore how to turn that fire into a creative practice you can actually keep. Brigid is our guide as we map small, human-scale rituals that pull us out of anxiety and into flow. Think red candles, Celtic songs, and a promise to make one small creative thing a day.
We share the joy of private art: coloring between tasks, writing winter poems that feel like prayers, arranging flowers, or building a playlist that moves your heart a few beats closer to brave. An oracle pull lands on Gift with the message precious offering, and we ask what that means for this week: perhaps your offering is time, listening, or the courage to express what’s been sitting in your chest. Along the way, we shout out beloved round-card decks, the publishers who support this work, and the poet Joy Harjo, whose voice invites us to blur the line between poem and prayer.
With Uranus stationing direct in Taurus, we talk breakthroughs—the kind that arrive when you’re washing dishes or shading a rose petal. We make a case for creative breaks as a steady path to better ideas and better moods, and we close with three prompts: what lights your fire now, what precious offering can you give, and what wants to be expressed while the Leo moon shines. If you’re ready to reignite your spark and let your heart lead the way, press play, bring a candle, and join us by the warm edge of the year.
If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a quick review to help others find the circle.
Our card this week is the eagle from the Cosmic Creator Oracle—air medicine that invites altitude, patience, and sharp focus. Then we translate that symbolism into practice with a simple perspective tool: build a “council of advisors” on paper, ask your question, and let five trusted voices—real or archetypal—offer angles you can act on.
From there we move into winter crafting for “future you.” Think pre-dressed tealights for the first of each month, tea blends that double as spell ingredients, easy room sprays, Florida water, sachets, and ready-made simmer pot jars. We share the calm joy of hand-dipped beeswax tapers, how dinner by candlelight becomes a family ritual, and why slow magic—prepared in quiet moments—pays off when life gets loud. As January closes in a numerology One year, we offer journal prompts to review your start and choose your next brave thing.
Finally, we prepare for the light of Imbolc and the many faces of Brigid—hearth, well, and fire. Expect simple, heartfelt ways to celebrate: a red candle, an easy soup, a floral cake, a Brigid’s cross, or just a playlist and a warm mug. Subscribe if this blend of story, symbol, and practical witchcraft feeds you. Share with a friend who’s ready to trade hurry for intention, and leave a review with your Imbolc plan—we’d love to hear how you’ll call the light back.

We lean into Capricorn’s grounded energy to set goals that actually fit real life, then invite Aquarius to remix the plan with inventive, future-facing ideas. This is where structure meets spark: vision boards that breath, seasonal intentions that flex, and rituals that transform more than your to-do list.
Amethyst leads our journey with the message “Transmutation is yours.” We unpack the difference between transformation and transmutation, then share accessible ways to work with the violet flame to compost heavy emotions and redirect that fuel into something that serves. You’ll hear simple practices—placing an amethyst on your heart, a mantra to anchor the flame, and a visualization that turns shadow into usable light—so you can start without overwhelm.
We also explore building a relationship with guides: deities, angels, and archetypes that mirror your needs in this season. From vetting intuitive nudges to creating an altar with art, music, and incense, we offer tools to deepen trust and make the connection tangible. Along the way, we talk seasonal goal setting, the power of myth, and the surprising places wisdom hides—like a children’s book that wakes up your inner compass.
If you’re ready to pair practical planning with soulful alchemy, this conversation gives you the map and the matches. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with your top goal and the guide you feel called to explore next.
What if the world’s storm doesn’t have to drown your sky? We open with a hard reset on perspective—how the collective mood can warp our view—and then build a grounded path toward steadier days using protection magic, creativity, and clear intention. Instead of marinating in the news cycle, I talk about practical ways to care for your energy: salt at the thresholds, a daily candle for whoever needs it, and the gentle shift from anxious worry to empowered compassion.
Creativity takes center stage as a true antidote to anxiety. We unpack why the brain struggles to ruminate and create at the same time, and how flow—through crafting, music, cooking, gardening, even problem-solving at work—can become a reliable nervous system reset. January’s theme, illuminate, threads through the hour as we explore seeing more clearly after the longest nights, choosing hopeful inputs, and letting small rituals add up to real change.
We also dig into timing. Many listeners are feeling January as unexpected “go time,” an invitation to plant seeds earlier than usual. You’ll hear ideas for visioning that actually stick, including a simple neuro-art approach to mapping intentions, plus seasonal tips for warm nourishment and reading recs that balance learning with delight. Along the way, we share coven updates, a Portland event announcement, and a handful of journal prompts to close the loop: What is being illuminated for you now, and what tiny seed can you plant today?
If this conversation brings you a little calm and a spark of courage, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss a cozy, witchy check-in. Then tell us: what’s being illuminated for you—and which seed are you planting next?
The year opens with a quiet dare: what are you willing to release so the real you can breathe? We invite Kali’s fierce compassion into the room and let winter do what winter does best—slow us down, sharpen our hearing, and make honest space for shadow work. Instead of sprinting toward resolutions, we choose reflection, ritual, and seasonal timing, so our plans feel human and our progress holds.
We explore how Capricorn’s grounded drive can pair with January’s incubation energy without tipping into burnout. You’ll learn why seasonal goals beat rigid deadlines, how vision boards and playlist “audio boards” translate dreams into sensory anchors, and the simple home rituals that mark the threshold between years. From simmer pots to smoke cleanses to a humble day book, we build a toolkit that turns intention into practice. We also talk candidly about aligning health habits with the calendar—why spring is kinder for new routines, and how winter can still carry momentum through writing, planning, and gentle resets.
Affirmations take center stage as a practical brain hack. We share why “I am” statements work, how to record them in your own voice, and ways to stack them onto daily routines so they stick. To seal the container, we offer four reflection prompts: identify rising shadows, name your 2026 vision, define how you want to feel by year’s end, and write a vivid future page as if it already happened. It’s not about a new you by Monday; it’s about a truer you by December, guided by clarity, compassion, and a little divine edge.

The space between holidays feels thin, like the year is holding its breath. We step into that hush to make room for real change: honest journaling to name what hurts, sound and smoke to clear it out, and a house blessing that turns walls and windows into allies. Instead of forcing resolutions, we ask a better question from our oracle pull on the waxing moon: allow yourself to grow into what? With that answer, intentions stop being vague wishes and become touchable practices.
We explore why witches honor multiple fresh starts—Samhain, Lunar New Year, the Western calendar turn, and the astrological new year in spring—and how choosing your hinge point can steady your craft. If midnight finds you busy, the full moon in Cancer on January 3 offers a powerful reset for emotional release, journaling, and burning what you won’t carry forward. We share simple, grounded rituals: ringing bells through each room, tracing protections on doors and windows with black salt, refreshing talismans with oil, and setting the table with black-eyed peas and greens for luck and prosperity. Add folk charms like twelve grapes or a suitcase by the door, and you’ve woven old magic into a new morning.
Nature ties it all together. A New Year’s hike turned into a living omen: thousands of ladybugs shifting under winter leaves, a bright reminder to trust luck and keep moving. That story invites you to watch for your own signs and to craft traditions that fit your people, your place, and your pace. We round out with community news—our January theme is illuminate, plus a week-long photo challenge, live chats, and layered divination from tarot to charm casting—so you can grow with support and clarity.

The longest night invites a softer kind of courage. We welcome Yule with candles in every room, slices of sun made from dried oranges, and a warm mug of wassail as we step outside to thank the earth for her quiet work. From there we move into the heart of the season’s archetype—the Death card—not as a warning but as a wise guide for letting go of ego, illusion, and habits that keep us tired. If winter looks still on the surface, it’s only because life is shifting underneath.
We also dig into practical tools for shaping the year ahead. You’ll hear how to run a 24-card spread pairing tarot and oracle for each month, a focused pull of a Major Arcana theme for the year, and a numerology path to your Tarot Year Card. Along the way we talk through why doing this now, not on the frantic edge of New Year’s, gives your intuition time to breathe. If you want support, there are free Insight Timer meditations—including a Yule visualization that works like a gentle spell when travel or family logistics make ritual hard—and seasonal playlists to set the mood while you read and reflect.
Yule is our holiday of replenishment, a space where we choose warmth, slow rituals, and honest journaling. Try prompts that ask what you learned this year, where you need rest and boundaries, what needs mending, and which relationship is ready for deeper listening. Let joy be a practice too—yes, even the nostalgic holiday album that never gets old—because play keeps the inner fire steady. As the sun begins its return, choose one thing to release and one theme to carry forward. If this conversation warmed you, subscribe, share it with a friend who loves seasonal magic, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.
When the night arrives early and the lists get long, we reach for warmth that actually restores us. This week’s journey moves through the Sagittarius new moon, the hush of winter solstice, and the approaching gravity of Capricorn season with a simple aim: reclaim joy without losing our center. We ask better questions—what does fun look like in real life, in short bursts, on a budget—and then we turn those answers into clear intentions for the year ahead.
I share how Sagittarius energy fuels curiosity and lightness, and why naming three concrete adventures for next year can spark momentum when the calendar flips. We also talk about healing as a twin to joy: cutting cords with people or patterns that drain us, settling the nervous system, and using the King of Swords as our archetype for honest decisions. You’ll hear two accessible cord-cutting methods—the candle ritual for a specific tie and a guided visualization for broader release—plus practical grounding to integrate the shift.
To honor solstice without overwhelm, we keep it handmade and nature-led. Think foraged acorn caps, fallen pine boughs, and popcorn garlands that turn crafting into calm. A brief sunset ritual invites you to notice the early dark and the promise of returning light while setting boundaries that protect your energy through the holidays. If you’ve struggled with December overwork, consider this your permission to do less and feel more. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs gentler rituals right now, and leave a quick review to help others find the show—then tell me: what are your top three kinds of fun for the new year?
The darkest nights ask for the coziest magic. We lean into Yule and the winter solstice with the Nine of Cups as our north star, exploring how to treat yourself with small, meaningful rituals that fit real life. From fairy lights and tea to bookstore wanders and artist dates, we lay out practical, low-cost ways to keep your cup full when the calendar is packed and the sun slips away early.
We also get honest about tarot study. Temperance makes so much more sense when you see it as balance—time, energy, and pacing—rather than an abstract virtue. And yes, swords can sting; naming the cards we dread turns avoidance into understanding and better readings for others. Our coven’s photo challenges reveal shared struggles and wins, making learning feel communal and fun without pressure.
If you’re solstice-curious, here’s the good news: you don’t need to reinvent Christmas to honor Yule. Evergreens, lights, mistletoe, and even nativity scenes can be reimagined as symbols of life returning. Try intention ornaments you’ll burn on New Year’s Eve, snow collected for offerings, or bowls of snow dressed with herbs like a candle—letting the melt release your wish. Keep evening lights flickering until solstice to welcome the sun back and to remind your spirit that cycles turn.
We wrap with simple invitations: a twilight walk to spot winter signs, a shared cup with a witch-curious friend, a handmade or thrifted gift if capacity allows. Joy is a craft you can practice in small, steady ways. If this episode makes your season feel a little lighter, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs cozy magic, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find our coven. How will you treat yourself this week?
The fire’s crackling, the mug is warm, and we’re settling into December with a tender, practical look at how to refill our cup before the holidays pull on every thread. Guided by the Queen of Cups, we explore emotional care that’s doable: tiny rituals you can weave into a busy day, moments of quiet that reset your nervous system, and the courage to choose what nourishes you even when the calendar is loud.
I share what a rare stretch of true solitude taught me about rest and pleasure: taking myself out for tacos, wandering an art gallery, hiking at my own pace, and savoring a simple at-home facial. The surprise? Most of those comforts translate to everyday life even when family is home. We talk through easy, repeatable practices—tea you actually sit with, essential oils in the shower, a quick journaling page, a walk with the dog—that build a steady baseline so you can meet gatherings and deadlines with more grace and less grit.
With the full moon in Gemini on December 4, we step into communication magic. This is prime time for clarity: journaling about what to release, what to call in for the new year, and how to speak cleanly in conversations that matter. Pair Gemini’s curiosity with the Queen of Cups’ empathy to say true things kindly, set boundaries without blame, and bring more ease to family dynamics, work reviews, and heartfelt check-ins.
We also play with Yule energy and simple altar-making. Think red and green for balance, wreaths for cycles, pine cones and acorns for longevity and prosperity, and the joy of decorating early if it lifts your spirit. Wrap it all with three journal prompts to guide your week: one daily act to fill your cup, one place you need better communication, and what winter solstice means to you right now.
If this cozy, heart-forward approach resonates, tap follow, share with a friend who needs a gentler season, and leave a review to help others find our circle. Your stories and rituals keep this space warm—tell me what’s filling your cup today.
Let's reframe Thanksgiving! A single card can change the tone of a week, and the Moon does exactly that. We unpack its call to intuition, shadow, and instinct, then weave those insights into a holiday many of us find complicated. Rather than sidestep the discomfort around Thanksgiving’s history, we name it and choose a grounded path forward: honoring the land and labor behind our food, practicing mindful eating, and building traditions that feel true.
I share how tracking the Moon’s movement through the zodiac reshaped my energy and rituals, plus simple ways to reconnect with lunar rhythms even when life is noisy. Think water rituals, salt baths, and a few minutes under the night sky to listen for what your body already knows. From there we explore rewilding: shaking off learned behavior, finding your voice again, and anchoring that change with story, symbol, and nature.
If you’re craving slower gifting, you’ll find a toolkit of handmade ideas: dried citrus garlands, bird-friendly pine cones, tea blends, herbal oils, and moon-kissed bath salts. Not everyone is stitch-worthy; spend your energy where it will be cherished.
We close with journal prompts to rewire attention toward beauty and choice. What are you grateful for? Which traditions no longer fit? What is your intuition asking you to grow during the waxing moon? Press play to gather calm, craft meaning, and set the tone for a kinder season. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what tradition are you choosing to release this year?
If your heart already wandered to Yule lights or you’re still sitting with the Samhain veil, you’re not doing it wrong—cross‑quarter days are fluid by nature. Let’s choose the rhythm that keeps our practice alive rather than forcing a schedule that drains it.
I unpack how I read The Tower for the collective—more wake‑up than wipe‑out—and why meeting change on purpose can soften the edges. Small shifts like taking a new route home or discovering a new artist prepare your nervous system for bigger transformations. From there, we ground into accessible magic: yoga flows tailored to lunar energy, cozy collective tarot on YouTube when your cards feel heavy, and free ritual support through your local library or the Libby app.
For the days when energy is low, I share rituals that still work beautifully: coloring pages as spellwork with sigils tucked in the lines, guided meditations and sound baths that continue even if you drift to sleep, dream magic with tea and lavender, and kitchen witchery where soup becomes a simmering cauldron of intention. We finish with journal prompts to welcome Sagittarius season’s spark: the change you seek, the joy you want to invite, the shadows to witness, and the boundaries that protect your peace. Listen, take what serves, and craft the version of the path that fits the life you’re living today. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what low‑energy ritual will you try next?
We open the week with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius and a surprising ally: the Knight of Cups. That mix of swift, heart-led motion and cosmic slow-down creates a paradox we can use—pursue what truly fills you while triple-checking the path you take to get there.
We unpack the Knight of Cups as more than romance or daydreams. It’s the holy-grail focus that asks, What am I holding that deserves both hands? From there, we get practical. Expect travel snags and message mix-ups, so we share simple rituals to keep you steady: confirm bookings, draft sensitive texts, read important emails out loud, and cleanse your devices with selenite or shungite. Editing is magic right now—especially on paper—because revising your words reframes your week.
As the witch’s new year energy settles and holidays approach, we turn to kitchen witchery for grounding. Build a small sink-side altar, stir meals with intention, and let food be love and comfort. When sunlight is scarce, sound becomes spellwork: playlists that lift the room, from Stevie Wonder and Aretha to The Wiz soundtrack and epic film scores that make chores feel like quests. Your function is to be happy; protecting that joy raises the vibe for everyone around you.
We close with journal prompts to steer your heart: What are you chasing, is it worth it, and where can you pause until Mercury moves direct? If a relationship feels one-sided, what boundary or kindness would balance it? Press play to gather calm, clarity, and a few soulful tools for a gentler week. If this landed, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—what song should we add to our joy playlist?

The air still feels charged from Samhain, and that sensitivity can be a gift when you know how to work with it. We open by naming the subtle signs of a thin veil—tiredness, vivid dreams, and heightened emotion—and then get practical with simple cleanses that support your space and your body. From a two-for-one simmer pot and spiritual bath to smoke cleansing with doors open and rosemary hung at thresholds, we share gentle routines that make your home feel lighter without fuss.
Pulling The Emperor card sets a clear theme: claim your authority and protect your time. With Mercury retrograde approaching, we map out where to act now—send the messages, clarify plans, back up files, and set boundaries you can keep through the holidays. Scorpio season helps us get honest about where we overextend, while The Emperor offers the structure to say no with grace and yes with intention. It’s productivity with soul, anchored in calm rather than chaos.
Then we lean into the Taurus full moon for comfort and craft. Think kitchen witchery and tactile rituals: cordials infused with cranberry, orange peel, and cinnamon; hearty soups that simmer all day; simple incense blends; and cozy touches like wool socks, candlelight, and fairy lights. We reframe “cold and flu season” as vitamin C and D deficiency season and offer real-world ways to stay nourished—frozen produce, ferments, mushrooms, and rose hips when you can find them. By the end, you’ll have a focused to-do list, a soothing cleansing practice, and a personal definition of cozy you can return to all winter long.
If this warm, witchy reset resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find our cozy corner. Got a favorite comfort ritual or soup recipe? Tell us—we’d love to try it.

Candles in the window, laughter on the sidewalk, and a pumpkin that doubles as a spell—this Halloween week carries a strange, hopeful spark. We lean into that feeling and treat Samhain as both a doorway and a homecoming: a time to honor ancestors, tell the truth about what we’re releasing, and invite the Page of Wands’ fresh energy without making our practice heavy or performative.
You’ll hear how to blend playful Halloween traditions with meaningful Samhain rituals—carving runes and sigils into jack-o’-lanterns, setting lights to guide beloved dead, and creating a Silent Supper that fits your life whether you choose mindful quiet or heartfelt conversation. We talk about grief as sacred work, the beauty of small, repeatable rituals, and why the simplest acts—lighting a single candle, writing one page of release, cooking a favorite dish in someone’s memory—often open the deepest connection. Along the way, we unpack the Page of Wands as a sign of study, optimism, and creative beginnings, and explore the many “new years” on the wheel, from Samhain to the calendar turn to the spring’s astrological reset.
If you’re craving witchcraft that’s warm, accessible, and real, this conversation offers gentle structure and plenty of choose-your-own-adventure ideas: window lights, cinnamon broom besoms, ancestor candles, and a handful of journal prompts to meet the thin veils with courage and care. Join us, make it yours, and step into the season with a clear heart and a bright spark. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help our cozy circle grow.

The energy shifts this week—subtle, electric, and honest—and our bodies notice before our brains do. We start with a story about October sore throats and end with a clear map for reclaiming your voice, weaving together Libra’s new moon, Scorpio’s first steps, and a tarot pull that says you’re steadier than you think. If themes like the witch wound, throat chakra, and embodied magic have tugged at you lately, you’ll feel at home here.
We unpack the Three of Wands as an anchor for grounded progress: a reminder to stand tall on the cliff of your own life and plan your next move with intention. From there, we get practical with simple grounding—calling your energy back, rooting into the earth, and asking for true rest if your nights feel like travel. Libra’s lunar reset invites justice-focused intentions written in plain language, while Scorpio season brings boundaries, discernment, and the courage to speak when it matters. Think fewer scattered yeses, more aligned noes, and language that lands like a well-placed wand tap instead of a swing in the dark.
Seasonal prompts help you let go with purpose: What can die with grace so new life can grow later? Which roles can you lay down to lighten your load? We talk hands-on creativity as nervous-system medicine—I signed up for a crochet class not to be perfect, but to finish something small and remember completion. If the witch wound resonates, trace where it lives in your body—throat, heart, gut—and offer it protection, education, and a boundary or two.

If you’ve been living like a hermit since eclipse season, consider this your soft nudge back into the village. We draw the Three of Cups and unpack what it means to step out of the cave—planning a coffee, catching a harvest fair, or simply FaceTiming a friend—so your energy can circulate again. From there, we shift into the heart of October: shadow work, ancestor tending, and a simple, no-fuss approach to everyday magic that actually fits into a busy life.
We explore a grounded path to shadow work using Jungian ideas, tarot as a mirror, and 10-minute journaling sprints that lower the stakes while raising your self-honesty. You’ll hear a practical philosophy—every stone protects, every herb cleanses—that cuts through overwhelm and replaces it with relationship and intention. Then we walk step-by-step through an ancestor candle ritual you can set up in minutes, with inclusive language for complex lineages and a focus on kindness, consent, and clear boundaries. Along the way, we preview coven events, including a conversation on shamanism with Granddaughter Crow and a New Moon YouTube premiere designed to let us facilitate and chat live at the same time.
By the end, you’ll have a handful of tools you can use tonight: a journal prompt to surface what’s rising, a simple altar practice for autumn, and a gratitude-and-release habit that trains your attention toward what’s safe, true, and timely. The season invites connection and clarity—community outside, integration inside. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs gentle encouragement, and leave a review to help more witches find their way to this cozy corner.

The veil is thinning, witches! As we step into October, we're welcomed by that magical sensation when our witchy practices align perfectly with the season around us. There's something deliciously freeing about wearing ghost shirts and setting up altars without anyone batting an eye – even if we'll still be doing these things long after the Halloween decorations come down.
This week, we're embracing the potent Aries full moon energy arriving on October 6th. Aries brings us clarity, empowerment, and the perfect fiery backdrop for shedding what no longer serves us. When combined with the Queen of Swords that appeared in our tarot reading, we're receiving a clear message: it's time to cut cords, gain clarity, and step more fully into our authentic selves. What better time to ask yourself those deeper questions about identity and legacy than when the veil between worlds grows thin?
October uniquely amplifies our divination practices. When cultures across the world agree that this is the time for connecting with ancestors and spirit, there's something genuine happening in the energy around us. Whether you're an experienced card reader or curious about trying scrying for the first time, this is your moment. I've shared instructions for creating your own scrying mirror and offered suggestions for simple divination tools you can make yourself. The beauty of this practice is that it should be playful – we chose this path for its freedom and creativity, not rigid dogma.
Remember that witchcraft is about joy as much as it is about power. As you journal about your dominant clair sense and explore new divination methods this week, approach it with curiosity and playfulness. The magic happens when we allow ourselves to experiment without judgment. After all, as I often remind my coven: "We are not in a stuffy church for a reason. We want to have fun, we want to create."
Eclipse season hit many of us like a cosmic tsunami, bringing unexpected challenges, revelations, and a general sense of unease. If September left you feeling shaken or exhausted, you're certainly not alone. As we collectively emerge from this intense period, we're greeted by the balancing energy of Libra season and the grounding presence of autumn—both offering exactly what we need to recover and reset.
The Queen of Wands appears as our guide this week, reminding us that our confidence and personal power remain intact despite recent turbulence. With her black cat familiar and sunflower symbolism, she represents the perfect balance of feminine strength—connected to nature, comfortable in her authority, and radiantly self-assured. Her appearance suggests that we're moving from chaos into a more centered state where we can access our inner wisdom again.
Libra season invites us to beautify our surroundings, but that doesn't mean breaking the bank. Estate sales offer hidden treasures at fraction of retail prices—from vintage Halloween decorations to quality clothing and home goods. These sustainable alternatives to fast fashion and mass-produced décor allow us to express our style while honoring our budget and the planet. Meanwhile, autumn encourages us to slow down and become more present through simple practices like mindful walks to observe seasonal changes.
For those feeling the drain of social media, consider alternatives to mindless scrolling: keep poetry collections nearby, create mood-boosting playlists, or rediscover hands-on crafts like knitting, drawing, or beadwork. Remember that hobbies don't need to become side hustles or areas of expertise—they can simply be activities that bring joy and presence into your life. As the veil thins and October unfolds, may we all reclaim our Queen of Wands energy and move forward with newfound wisdom from the lessons eclipse season taught us.
The autumn equinox marks a powerful transition in the witch's wheel of the year—a perfect moment of balance when day and night stand equal before darkness begins to dominate. This episode explores this magical threshold from multiple perspectives, offering both practical and spiritual guidance for harnessing equinox energies.
We begin by examining how this equinox arrives at the closing of an intense eclipse season, creating a unique energetic landscape focused more on release than manifestation. The Chariot tarot card appears as our weekly guide, representing both balance (with its black and white imagery) and surprisingly swift movement forward after a period of feeling stuck. This combination perfectly captures the essence of autumn's beginning—finding equilibrium while preparing for rapid seasonal changes.
The heart of autumn magic lies in balancing through conscious release. Unlike spring's growth-oriented energy, fall invites us to let go—of commitments that no longer serve us, of habits that drain rather than nourish, and of expectations that keep us from present-moment joy. This shedding creates space for the cozy comforts that make this season so special: candle-lit evenings, nature-inspired altar decorations, warming foods, and what we playfully call "hobbit living" (think fresh bread, hearty stews, and unhurried afternoons).
Practical suggestions abound for honoring this season through slow living practices: collecting leaves for natural decorations, preparing herbal remedies for winter wellness, embracing Libra season's beautifying influences, and creating intentional cozy moments that require no special purchases. The episode concludes with journal prompts to help you identify what needs releasing for greater balance, where you're seeking momentum, and how you might invite more beauty into your daily life as we enter this magical season of transformation.
A eclipse portal has opened, and its effects are rippling through our bodies, minds, and spirits. The eclipse season officially began on September 7th, unleashing a wave of intense energy that's affecting witches and spiritual practitioners in deeply personal ways.
Feeling unusually tired, emotionally drained, or noticing disruptions to your sleep or menstrual cycle? You're not alone. The majority of coven members report similar experiences as this powerful lunar event pulls on our internal waters just as it does the ocean tides. Yet some witches find themselves energized, experiencing welcome releases and feeling more authentic than before. Your unique response to this cosmic shift is perfectly valid – there's no wrong way to experience eclipse energy.
What makes eclipse season particularly transformative is how it creates a storytelling arc in our lives. The first eclipse opens the portal, bringing hidden patterns and energies to the surface. Things bubble up, often causing confusion or emotional intensity. By the time the second eclipse arrives (the upcoming solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21st), your personal eclipse "story" typically becomes clear. What recurring themes have appeared in your dreams, thoughts, and divination since early September? These patterns aren't random – they're forming the narrative of your unique eclipse journey.
The combination of eclipse energy with Virgo season creates perfect conditions for examining what's in balance and what isn't. The Temperance tarot card appeared this week, underlining this theme with its imagery of careful, balanced flow between vessels. Like Justice's gentler sister, Temperance asks us to notice imbalances without forcing correction, instead inviting feminine wisdom to guide our realignment.
During this potent time, the veil between worlds thins, making signs and synchronicities more pronounced. As witches, we exist in liminal space, more attuned to the invisible world's communications. Whether it's recurring animal visitors, meaningful found objects (like the perfect pentacle revealed when cutting an apple horizontally), or messages that seem to come through ordinary people, these aren't coincidences – they're communications meant specifically for you.
Ground yourself daily through this cosmic intensity. Put bare feet on earth, take mindful walks, sit on the floor, pet animals, or soak in salt baths. These simple practices anchor your energy while allowing you to remain open to the profound shifts occurring within and around you.
What's your eclipse story? What signs are appearing? What needs rebalancing in your life? Journal on these questions as you navigate this powerful portal, and remember – you're not experiencing this cosmic shift alone. We're moving through it together, one step at a time.
